The popular Swedish reality television series 'Married at First Sight' is set to return for its thirteenth season, with the autumn edition titled 'Married at First Sight - In Winter Attire' premiering on October 2nd on SVT. This marks the second time the program will air during the fall season, expanding the show's traditional broadcast schedule and offering viewers additional content beyond the usual spring installment.

A significant development for this season is the introduction of psychologist Katarina Blom as one of the four relationship experts who will guide participants through their marital journeys. Blom joins the existing panel of specialists, bringing fresh psychological perspectives to the matchmaking process. In a press release, she expressed her hope to make psychology and therapy more accessible and useful in both viewers' and participants' daily lives, emphasizing psychology as a powerful tool for personal transformation.

The season features eight singles who will marry complete strangers at first sight, with the cast consisting of five men and three women forming four couples. The participants come from various professional backgrounds and locations across Sweden, including Malin Strömbäck, a 34-year-old treatment pedagogue from Norrköping; Patrik Stovell, a 38-year-old gym owner from Kungsbacka; and Tobias Branning, a 35-year-old customer service group manager from Helsingborg.

Other contestants include Abtin Jahani, a 36-year-old radiologic nurse from Gothenburg; Jimmy Erlandsson, a 40-year-old border trade regional manager from Strömstad; and Hanna Bergenholtz, a 32-year-old home care coordinator from Halmstad. The expert panel supporting these couples through their unconventional marital beginnings also includes matchmaking expert Lemarc Thomas making a comeback, alongside psychologist Fredric Bohm and Suzann Larsdotter, a specialist in clinical sexology.

Norwegian authorities are investigating an incident where a man suspected of attempted murder was injured during his arrest on the E18 highway in Sandefjord. The Special Unit for Police Matters has launched a mandatory investigation after the suspect sustained a fracture injury while being apprehended by police officers. Evidence from the scene has been secured as part of the probe into the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

The investigation stems from events that began Saturday evening when a woman was shot at a private address in the Unneberg area north of Sandefjord city center. The suspect fled the scene on an electric scooter following the shooting incident, which occurred around 3 PM. Police established a roadblock on the E18 highway as part of their response to the shooting.

The suspect was apprehended at approximately 7:45 PM at the police roadblock, during which he sustained injuries described as a fracture. While the extent of his injuries remains unclear, the Special Unit has initiated its investigation to clarify the sequence of events and circumstances leading to the injury. Both the suspect and the involved police officers will be interviewed in the coming days as part of the mandatory review process.

The man, who has provided an initial statement to police, has been formally charged with attempted murder and was remanded in custody by the Vestfold District Court on Monday morning. Police indicate the suspect and victim were acquainted but did not have a close relationship. The woman who was shot did not sustain life-threatening injuries, though her exact condition remains unknown as authorities continue their parallel investigations into both the shooting incident and the arrest-related injury.
